Safe container for storing powder
Who makes a container one pound size for storing powder. I presume it will need to be made or a dark plastic of some kind and have a screw on cap.

I've got empties from powder long past. See if someone near you will save empties for you. That way you don't have to buy them. -
You don't have any empty powder containers?
I'd give you one for free, but it appears you aren't very near by...Chris

Thank I appreciate that. I have some friends in my gun club that would like to try some of a powder I have been using. I did not want to use old containers because the manufactures say not to do so, I'm sure for liability reasons.
I don't want to put myself in a position for anyone to say I did anything wrong.Comment

If you've got a backpacking store nearby (like REI), you could get a Nalgene wide mouth water bottle of the appropriate size.Comment

The powder companies say that you should store their powder in the container that they came in...Comment

I think he's talking about sharing small quantities with friends for testing loads. Whatever container is used, it should be CLEARLY marked with appropriate identifying information. As soon as the powder leaves the manufacturer's container, it starts looking pretty generic.Comment

I just mark a small baggie(sandwich size) and put some in it. Never had any trouble.
Do not overthink it.A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.
